Hi I'm looking for a but if advice, my daughter is 21 months and since 9 months old she has slept in our bed. This was fine until I became pregnant and now I'm getting bigger im terrified she will kick my bump as she moves so much. We've bought her a toddler bed with peppa pig covers that she loves, but I have no idea how to get her to sleep there as she has no concept of sleeping without me in our bed and strokes me tummy to fall asleep!
Is really appreciate any advice before I start trying as I don't want to upset her and ruin it!
Thanks a lot!

No advice from experience but if I was in your situation I may attempt going into her bed/bedroom with her to settle for a few nights then easing away slowly like that. You may be surprised how well she takes to it though...we have recently moved our 10 week old into his cot in his own room having been in Moses in our room - he is now too big and wriggly for Moses. He has surprised me by how smooth he took to it.
Good luck x
